SRYER APPLIGATIC( FILED MAR. 2, i904f s constsn't sgitstion which is sethe sation ci the compressed air issuing; through the mixer l5. This mixer, shown in Fig. 3, comprises it plurality of sims (here shown es tour in number) which merge et their outer ends into curved portions, tre hollow with closed ends and have small under side peiorstions 2l for the escape ol the nir under pressure. The periorations in the curved members are pointed directly downward; but those in the redini arms ere simeri one of the vertical center und on the side in each arm, whereby n 'mo vement o s virl ci the liouid will be `produced. movement will churn and sgh il iquid against the arms, and the Iiets vtrom curved members 'I l stir up such matter ss may tend to settle in the hottorn of the tank.

Leading from the hottom oi tank '7 is the dischsrgeqii e 22?., hsving the cut-olf valve 23, by which the flow of liquid through the pipe canl be regulated. This pipe terminates with the "2-heed 2st, with threaded ends for the attfichment of sprayingmozzles '25, as

in oractite r.:liarging-station will be establisned by locating a threshing-engine and pumps convenient to water and. neer centrni es possible. T he wagons, with their sprayingr outfits, will go to the station to be charged with compressed air and spraying fluid. From there vthey will be hauled to plsces where the spraying is to be done, and as tanks nre lemptied the wagons will :stur themlorrechsrging.

For sprsying in the liinlos high i veh ont oi' reach oi the operntor on the top plsttorin 'we provide the two ladders Si), legis of which supported insee tionin socks ts 22%, where they ere retained. by bolts Ztl or other secure means, end being inclined toward erich meet st their upper ends, have the latter united by any suitable means. in the drs-wings we have shown the upper ends united by dropping the hollow horse l@ down over the ends of the ladder, as shown in Fig. Ll. it is importent that the ladders be t y securely fastened to the suppor. body in order to prevent accident to the man who works from the top oi them and,

who will he there while the spraying-machine '.i`his con only be dissil rihe arms and curved members senses y is drawn troni place to pince, as l'rorn one tree to another or to dllerent sides of thev same tree." It is also desirable to 'moire him as comfortable as possible in his arduous-ls.- bor and to mak'e him feel es secure as possible by providing a device that he can hold onto readily. For the above reasons we make the V horse 10 hollow on the inside and open at thebottom, and as it is not needed on the platorm Q'While the operator is at work on the ladders We remove it, with its saddleirom standard 11 and place it over the ends of the ladders. f

It is desirable to carry as high pressure of air in tank 6 as can be practically stored sind retained, and s pressure so greet se to 'he disastrous to the liquid-trink, if admitted to the v latter with full force, and in order to prevent accidents, due to ignorence or carelessness, by'

turning,T on the full pressure, We provide thev automatic regulator 16 in the pipe connect* ing the two tanks. This 'is oi' any 'of' the wellknown reducers oi which there are several good ones on the market. As it is impractiealole to ump air from the atmosphere into a.

tank an get a pressure much over two hundred pounds to the square inch, and aswe may want more than thst in the tank that goes to the orchard, We will :in such eases )ump rst into another t'unk and then pump 'om'thst tank into the one on the machine.

This is a novel expedient and an important one in our business. 5

Having;` thus fully described our invention, what we claim es new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- l. spraying outfit having en elevated platter i, ladders extended shove the plat form, and aseat on a hollow horse secured to the platform errd adopted to he removed therefrom and placed'upon the ladders with the Aends oi the ladders entering the hollow of the horse.

2. In a spraying outfit a pair of verticallyv extended rectangular frames, sockets on the horizontal to members of said frame, extension ladders aving legs seatedin said socket and means forsecuring them therein and s hollow horse adopted to receive the top ends oi the ladders.
